Thanks everyone for their help. This is now returning to my archives. Abu, I share your concerns re: ownership. I think if some-one suggests that I tighten up a poem by removing superfluous words, or that I perhaps re-arrange lines....it is still my poem when I do so. I am not so sure when whole lines are rewritten, though. And, as I grow in confidence I feel I can refuse offers of such things and still maintain ownership....but, squirrel the advice away for future writes.
Thanks for boosting my confidence!
